For most of my life, no matter what I do, there are always people that, on first glance, think that I am a guy. Sometimes it is understandable because I am a welder, I cannot wear dresses and have my hair all fancy at work, but my hair is still long and braided and does show. Anyhow, I have been called "sir" by people who are holding my drivers license and credit card. Last night, I accompanied my hubby to his Grandpa's viewing and one of the ladies there asked my MIL why her "son" was on crutches. Ok...my toenails are painted green, I had sparkly pink shoes on, I had nice, women's khakis on and a sparkly nice shirt with a scoop neck. Admittedly, I don't wear makeup or take huge efforts over my hair (mostly a ponytail with clips in my hair). I even have glasses with purple frames. My skin is not such that I can wear makeup very well (I am going to get some of that mineral stuff for my birthday in a couple of months). Back in my early 20's I would even get told that I was in the wrong restroom. It is so frusterating...Is it just because I am tall? I don't have huge boobs, but I don't feel that I should have to have huge boobs in order for people to think that I am a woman. I just don't know what else to do.
Thanks for listening to me vent anyway...
